Our visit to Colorado and Utah gave us many great adventures. Our rest and rejuvenation from our many excursions came to us by just walking onto the property at Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa. It was nothing short of an oasis nestled among five stunning canyons. Words and photos simply cannot capture its beauty—it must be experienced. The peace and quiet are unmatched, yet adventure is always within reach. What made our stay truly special was the staff. Andrew, Andea, Gabriel, Karla, Jacob, and many others treated us like family. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care elevated our entire experience. Dining at the Paradox Grille was another highlight. Every meal—whether breakfast or dinner—was unique and absolutely delicious. The service was just as impressive as the food, with staff who were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Before I leave you just a few important tips for Utah and Colorado: •Always carry water, snacks, and keep your gas tank full. •Wear appropriate footwear for hiking and walking. •Check the weather before off-roading. •Take your time—these landscapes are meant to be savored. •Stay on marked paths to protect the fragile biological soil crust, which is vital to the ecosystem. •Be cautious on dirt roads, especially when wet. Bentonite clay can become extremely slick and hazardous, and it can also damage your vehicle if not handled properly. In closing, we believe everyone—regardless of age—should experience the beauty of Utah and Colorado at least once. The landscapes are a feast for your eyes and will stay in your mind forever, and the kindness, thoughtfulness and beauty of the people will remain in your heart eternally. Thank you, Colorado, Utah and Andrew and team at the Gateway Canyons, for an unforgettable adventure. We hope to see you soon.
